“Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges” is a Latin phrase that translate, "The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state."

From the death penalty to gender identity to abortion, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has cemented himself as a conservative standard-bearer in the lead-up to his 2024 presidential announcement.
